EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This resolution would document the Council’s acknowledgement of the completion of construction for the Coffey Park and Fountaingrove Neighborhood Road Disaster Recovery Project, Contract Number C02258, and acknowledge that all grant funds under the Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Grant Agreement Number 17-DRMIT-17003 have been expended on contract work for the Coffey Park and Fountaingrove Neighborhood Road Disaster Recovery Project.
GOAL
This item relates to Council Goal #2 - Invest in the Development and Maintenance of the City's Infrastructure and completes the procedures for the grant that provided funding for repairing the roads damaged by the 2017 Tubbs Fire.
BACKGROUND/PRIOR COUNCIL REVIEW
After the 2017 Tubbs Fire, the City of Santa Rosa, in coordination with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, began a debris removal operation to remove hazardous burned material from the Coffey Park and Fountaingrove neighborhoods of the City. This operation included thousands of truck trips on residential roads not designed to accommodate such heavy loading. These residential roads experienced significant damage as a direct result of the required debris removal operations which led to premature pavement failure on residential streets within the City of Santa Rosa.
To obtain adequate funding, City staff requested and Council approved allocation of funding, an application of funding, and the execution of a grant agreement from the CDBG-DR program on September 26, 2023 by Resolution RES-2023-164. The California Department of Housing and Community Development approved a CDBG-DR grant in the amount of $13,835,903.19 under Agreement Number 17-DRMIT-17003 for fire damaged road repairs that would be applicable to the Coffey Park and Fountaingrove Neighborhood Road Disaster Recovery Project, Contract Number C02258.
Also, by Resolution RES-2023-164,the construction contract was awarded on September 26, 2023, to Argonaut Constructors of Santa Rosa, California. Construction was completed and accepted by the City of Santa Rosa on November 13, 2025 and a Notice of Completion was filed with the Sonoma County’s Assessor’s office on December 2, 2025.
ANALYSIS
As part of the closeout process for Agreement Number 17-DRMIT-17003, the California Department of Housing and Community Development requires Council to adopt a resolution acknowledging that construction for the Coffey Park and Fountaingrove Neighborhood Road Disaster Recovery Project (Contract Number C02258) has been completed, and that all grant funds allocated under Agreement Number 17-DRMIT-17003 for fire damaged road repairs have been fully expended on work performed for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this action does not have a fiscal impact on the General Fund.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
The recommended action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), as it involves an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
The proposed resolution solely acknowledges completion of construction for the Coffey Park and Fountaingrove Neighborhood Road Disaster Recovery Project (City Contract No. C02258) and confirms that all Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds under Grant Agreement No. 17-DRMIT-17003 have been fully expended. The underlying project was previously reviewed in compliance with CEQA, and this action does not approve, modify, or expand the scope of the project or authorize any new physical improvements.
